SportDOG NoBark SBC-R Waterproof Rechargeable Dog Bark Collar

We bought this collar to assist with training our beagle/boxer mix pup to stop barking. By nature, she's a barker, and that beagle bark can be ear piercing. She was barking at everything and often kept us up at night while in her kennel. Since we've gotten this collar, it's been a life saver! No more loud barking. After a few shocks when she initially wore it, she modified her behavior. If she has it on, it doesn't even have to be turned on now. She knows. We also use it for our chihuahua mix when needed, and it works well on him, too. Again, if he's wearing it, we don't even have to have it on.

We are ordering a larger size for our husky/German shepherd mix as when he goes outside he likes to bark at our neighbors, so I think this will be a great tool for him as well. There is one downside. My beagle/boxer mix has learned how to 'get around' being shocked in the middle of the night when we do leave it on. She won't bark. But she will do these high pitch squeals to get our attention, and her throat doesn't vibrate when she does that - so she doesn't get shocked. She's too smart for her own good. … more

We had such high hopes for these collars for our 5 year old male Yellow Lab & 5 year old female German Shephard. They weren't a deterrent more than the initial surprise of the static delivery. We tried all levels at different times, both sets of prongs, and even just let it ride for a while but no barrier. We even resorted to leaving on the manual level of 10 and the barrage of barking never desisted. We gave it a try for 3 weeks with no positive results. Time to return.

I have a little, ornery Pomeranian and I got this collar to keep him from barking throughout the day and driving my neighbors crazy. Yes, he has some fluff, but I clear away the fur from his neck and make sure the probes are making contact with his skin. Well, he barks. And barks. And barks. I have tried all the different settings and not one of them has prevented him from barking. Yes, it is turned on. Yes, it is charged. Yes, I’ve checked to make sure it hasn’t loosened too much or become too tight. It just doesn’t seem to work. I’m disappointed, my girlfriend is disappointed, and I guarantee my neighbors are disappointed. Still.

We do not use this daily. Our bully mix only really barks when he is in a new place and unsure of his surroundings (at cabin up north or other vacations that we take the dogs with). We expect a bark or two, but being a bully breed, he can get hyper focused on something and it is nearly impossible to regain attention. We ONLY have it on him when he is outside and not playing with another dog. He is a vocal player and I don’t want to punish him for playing. I set this on the manual lowest setting and it does the trick. It stops him from getting hyper focused and bring him back to me.

I bought 2 of these at once for my 2 dogs because I have a 4 month old who they wake up constantly with their barking. It's like they're not even wearing a collar at all. They bark right through it. Must feel like a tickle to them. Will be returning both. Please save your money.

I tried two of these. The first one did not work. My dog barked right though it. They sent a second one and did not work too. He barked right though it. I called the company that made the collar.. They told me how to check if it was working. Still did not work. Do not buy.

Bought due to the many positive reviews. But it doesn’t affect my golden. He barks right thru it. Pretty pricy to not work even with the levels upped. I thought maybe his long fur was in way, so I shave him down. Still doesn’t worm.

First of all, the “charger” is a plastic clip that you awkwardly clip onto the center of the interior of the Collar, between the prongs. It will be just a matter of time before that breaks/ wears out. I have used MANY diferent Bark Collars, and this is the most inconvenient charging system, kind of a hassle.. I love that this collar is waterproof (why wouldn’t it be?), and has a selection of many levels. The collar band is very long, appears durable..

(He is very intelligent & all I usually need in a bark collar is level 1 or 2 with him.). I charged it and used it according to the directions, however, it began to malfunction within less than a month! I thought it was, perhaps, the low level I started out using, but no...even with the level upped, it just stopped working. My dog barks at everything, leaves, birds, neighborhood noises...and he is surely NOT gaining any favor with my neighbors. What a HUGE waste of money ($100.). This collar needs to be REDESIGNED and FIXED. No, I cannot recommend this bark collar!! DO NOT BUY! … more

We have used several bark collars which you need to use a remote and I was excited about this one since it was automatic. BUT it doesnt work. It does nothing and my dog barks right through the collar no matter what setting you use. I do not recommend. If you are looking for a training collar then the Mini Educator is the best, but it is not automatic, you need to use a remote to stimulate the dog.

My dogs bark all night long! I bought two collars for two of my Pyrenees. Does not work they are barking and barking and barking.!!
